ND Innovation provides consulting expertise and advice in technology transfer and innovation management to clients across the public and private sectors around the world.

ND Innovation was established by ND Pharma & Biotech as its wholly owned technology transfer company.

ND Innovation has developed substantially over the years in a number of phases, as the technology transfer activity has grown, and with the formation of ND Innovation Consulting .

Our mission is to be the leading international technology transfer organization, to transfer technology and expertise from Research to Industry, to deliver value to all our clients, and to maximize social and economic benefits in a commercial manner.

ND Innovation manages the ND Pharma & Biotech intellectual property portfolio, working with University researchers on identifying, protecting and marketing technologies through licensing, spin-out/spin-off company formation, consulting and material sales.
